Looking like an egret spreading its wings in the air and resembling an open gate, in the International Innovation Collaboration Zone of the Lingang New Area of the Shanghai Free Trade Zone, on the shore of Dishui Lake, a futuristic building stands tall like a bright pearl, attracting people's attention, which is the permanent venue of the World Laureates Forum (Lingang Center) (hereinafter referred to as the "Dingke Permanent Site"). In November 2023, the 6th WLA Forum (hereinafter referred to as the "WLA Forum") was held here, where more than 300 global scientists from 25 countries and regions, including 27 Nobel laureates, gathered here.
Positioned as a "world-class source of major cutting-edge science in the new era", a major project in Shanghai, and the No. 001 project of Lingang New Area, the establishment of the permanent site of Dingke has injected impetus into Shanghai's construction into a science and technology innovation center with global influence. The total floor area of the site is 2280,000 square meters, composed of the main building conference center and two towers in the east and west, integrating the main venue, multi-function hall, round table summit hall, theater, digital library and other functions. As the venue of the Dingke Forum, the site also fully demonstrates the green aesthetics of the building, and is currently "the largest ultra-low energy consumption public building project in China".
The power supply and distribution system of ultra-low energy consumption buildings often requires intelligent, digital and efficient management mode. As "the first ultra-low energy consumption public building project in Shanghai", the power distribution system of Dingke Permanent Site requires high-performance, highly intelligent, and a full range of ultra-low energy distribution equipment to replace the traditional power distribution operation and maintenance management mode. In view of this, ABB has planned intelligent power distribution management solutions for the permanent site of Dingke, including ABB Ability EAM energy efficiency and asset health management solutions, TruOne bypass automatic transfer switches, MDMAX series low-voltage distribution cabinets and other solutions to ensure its safe, reliable and stable operation.
The total area of the permanent site is 2280,000 square meters, the previous site of the transmission and distribution equipment is more and scattered, difficult to centralize management. ABB Ability's EAM energy efficiency and asset health management solution provides complete remote visibility and analysis of the operational status of assets and electrical systems, and its plug-and-play, on-premise cloud features enable faster and more convenient power distribution monitoring and management in scientist conference centers, banquet halls and other important administrative areas, and quickly migrate to the cloud, effectively reducing project completion time. At the same time, the state-of-the-art maintenance and asset management functions of the Ability EAM energy efficiency and asset health management solution can better avoid unplanned power outages and make the site safe and secure.
The circuit breaker is an important device to ensure the safe and stable operation of the electrical system. ABB has provided a number of circuit breaker products, including EMAX 2 series air circuit breakers, TMAX XT series molded case circuit breakers, S200 miniature circuit breakers, etc. Known as the "ABB All-Power Manager", the EMAX 2 intelligent air circuit breaker protects the site's power system while enabling energy-saving control based on actual needs. The compact design of the TMAX XT molded case circuit breaker allows for more distribution circuits in a limited distribution cabinet, leaving plenty of room for subsequent power expansion. The EMAX 2, TMAX XT communication modules are easy to install, have a clear user interface, and can be upgraded at any time throughout the life cycle according to the needs of the application.
The dual-power automatic transfer switch is an important guarantee for the continuity of power supply. The TruOne Bypass Automatic Transfer Switch adopts an integrated design that combines an automatic transfer switch and a manual bypass switch to achieve safe, reliable, continuous and stable power**. When the automatic transfer switch needs to be powered off for maintenance due to repair or maintenance reasons and the project site is not allowed to be powered off for a long time, the bypass ATS can allow the load to be manually switched to the bypass switch for power supply first, so that the critical load at the meeting site does not need to be blacked out during the maintenance.
The relevant person in charge of the permanent site of Dingke said, "As a vibrant smart city, Shanghai is striving to become an important source of new scientific discoveries, new technological inventions, new industrial directions, and new development ideas. The opening of the permanent site of Dingke will accelerate the integration of the resources of top universities and research institutes at home and abroad, and build a world-leading scientific and technological highland and scientific free port. As a global technology leader, ABB's safe, stable and reliable power distribution equipment has injected a new source of power into the Lingang Center. In this cooperation, ABB will do its best to help shorten the construction period and provide efficient and stable power guarantee for the complete delivery of the project with professional and innovative power distribution technology. ”
